Did I spend roughly $50 (pre-tax & tip) on a lobster roll and a glass of prosecco? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. I'm going to touch on other aspects of my stay, but I can't believe how many fresh tasting, big, succulent chunks of lobster were in this hotel lounge lobster roll. It's cold & mayo based, which I know isn't for everyone (I see you got buttered lobster roll people and I understand completely; I'm just an equal opportunist when it comes to lobster rolls), but it was really good - like, not good for a hotel lounge, but good good. Yum! Ok, so why 4 stars? If it were based on the hospitality of the staff alone, I'd give it 6. Every staff member I encountered was genuinely affable - some were more outgoing than others, sure, but I appreciate mellow kindness. Also, this might be the first time I've remembered to pack all of my extra little charging stations, and I didn't even need them. So many conveniently placed outlets and USB ports - and the main room light was warm toned and welcoming, which is also a little treat :) I had to take away a star because of the general noise. My sleep wasn't disturbed, because I always travel with hardcore ear plugs and a sleep mask, but I couldn't close the curtains all the way (even with the pants hanger clip trick) so there was light coming in, and I could hear everything in the hall. Also plumbing noises (like pipes pinging and gurgling - nothing alarming, just...mildly intrusive). I was also disappointed that there wasn't a laundry bag or dry cleaning service like there are in the other Marriotts I've stayed in; I want to call myself out on not going to the front desk to ask specifically for this, but every other Marriott I've been in has a laundry bag with a dry cleaning order form in the closet. There also weren't any extra blankets in the closet; again, I didn't ask the front for one (and I'm sure they would have given one to me) but I wish there had been one in the room as it was super comfortable until I woke up at 2 am - which is really late and inconvenient to realize you need extra blankets. Ok, so that's why I took away a star. The other 4 are for the friendly staff, incredibly convenient location (anywhere I didn't walk, I took a Bluebike from the stand right outside), gorgeous fitness center (Pelotons?! What?!), and general cleanliness. If I come back to Boston/Cambridge for work, I'm 100% staying here. (If I come for pleasure, I'd probably try a quaint inn or something, but honestly I'd likely stay here the final night of my trip because it is also FIFTEEN MINUTES from the airport. But with a great river view, and no plane noises.) More on the location: walk to the river, and across the Harvard bridge. You're literally right there, and it's a great way to see the city (and while there's a CVS across the street, the one over the bridge is in a historic building. I'm from California, so to me that is very special 😂). It also takes 15 minutes to walk to the Cambridgeside Galleria if you n
This is a very professionally run small hotel. There were several times when the level of service rose to the very highest level. First, I had a cold when I made the reservation and I asked if I was too under the weather to come to Boston, could I use the non-refundable payment toward a future stay-the front desk person was very helpful and allowed that. During my stay everything was very well done. The next really, really special service was that I left the hotel very early due to travel plans and I forgot one of my most important reference books and my umbrella! I am an experienced traveler and I have a very careful leave the room routine. I must have been too tired. I realized my mistake quickly and called about an hour after having left. The front desk person checked on my room and found the two items and immediately offered to work with the owner to get them mailed to me...and the owner did this without adding a charge!! Maybe because I had been understanding that my room was a little cold due to very strong 50 mile per hour winds that night...whatever the reasons, I was very impressed and will make this my go to hotel on my regular Boston trips.
My husband and I were so impressed with the front desk, particularly, Mr. Bishop. He was extremely welcoming, and knowledgeable and answered all of our many questions about what to see and do in Cambridge and the Boston area. Our room was immaculate and very comfortable – we had everything we needed and more! We really enjoyed the sunny window seat. The housekeeping staff, too, was very accommodating. Valet parking was quick and efficient. We loved walking into Cambridge and venturing into Back Bay on the T. We only wished we could have stayed longer and will definitely return again soon! Thank you to the entire staff and a special shout out to Mr. Bishop!

They unilaterally preauthorize pet cleaning fees for service animals in violation of the ADA. Very shady business practice. Beginning deposit was 75, the preauthorize total became 161 approximately, or an 86 dollar arbitrary additional fee. Encourage anyone else experiencing this to contact attorney if you are disabled and discriminated against. Establishments are not allowed to impose barriers but are REQUIRED by civil law to eliminate them. I am a working professional with a service animal, smooth and consistent rules applied equally are greatly important to me to reduce hassles like these for my work to be optimal
Nice hotel! The location is also very good! There is a supermarket at the door ~ It is very close to Harvard and MIT. It is very convenient to take the subway one stop. The front desk attitude is also very good!
A famous place opened by a Chinese couple. The room I live in is a basement and the bathroom is shared. There was a little smell in the room that day, but it was ok. There are Chinese fast food restaurants in the surrounding area and a big supermarket. The room is equipped with a kitchen.
The location is very good, safer, convenient to eat, walking to MIT, Harvard is also very close, there is a supermarket target nearby, there is a Korean supermarket, things are very rich, fruits and vegetables are very fresh. There is also a self-service hot pot restaurant, 27.99 knife/person, many people. But the hotel seems to be 10am-6pm front desk, but the hotel will send the password of the room to the guest in advance, and enter the password into the room. In addition, if you need to clean the room, you may need to make an appointment with the front desk. Anyway, I stayed for a few days and no one cleaned it, but there are paper cups, napkins, soaps, disposable plates, knives and forks in the corridor.
The hotel is small, but the furniture and bathroom are new and have no odor. The bed and quilt pillows are super comfortable and will not cause the sound of salsa to affect sleep. There are not many types of breakfast, it is delicious. Great location, 10 minutes walk to the MIT Museum. There is a seafood restaurant across the road from the hotel and the lobster is great. The staff is also very warm and thoughtful. By the way, it is incredible that the room is also prepared with free snacks and fruit.
This was a wonderful hotel for our visit. Our room was already available upon. A bit of an early arrival. We received friendly front desk service and had no problems with checking in. We found it to be clean and spacious. Everything was clean and provided a comfortable place each night. Close to MIT. We were able to get a car easily when going into Boston. Appreciated the cost compared to staying directly in Boston.
Breakfast costs $ 20, but the hotel is connected to Starbucks, so you can choose Star Dad. Or Dunkin Donuts on the side, which is also a very earthy breakfast chain (similar to Bobby steamed buns or Shaxian, but the quality is stable). Location is relatively close to the city, 10 minutes walk from the Red Line subway, there is a fresh pond opposite, the environment is good. The hotel should be pet friendly, with guests and dogs. A little bit of trouble is that after Ctrip booked the hotel, the hotel charge was more than 100 yuan more than the room rate, and the pre-authorization deposit of 50 yuan was checked on the spot and paid separately. This is far worse than the Ctrip customer service has not yet received a response and solution. In addition, most of the waiters in the hotel are black, and the service awareness is slightly poor. One day I came back once in the afternoon, and I used to put the tip for the next day on the bedside table, but I came back at night and found that it was gone ...

Harvard University
GGrace_cytHarvard University in Boston is one of the most influential universities in the world and is a place that many students aspire to visit. When we went there, there were students protesting and many tents were set up on the lawn of the campus, so the school gate was temporarily closed and not open to the public. It was a pity that we were unable to visit. There are many restaurants, cafes, small shops, etc. around Harvard University, and the atmosphere feels more open and casual.
MIT Museum
Ppalettes_nyI was shocked by MIT's little friend Amway's campus museum. I had punched in the museum on the Harvard campus before. I felt shocked, especially the stones of all kinds, which made people see. So I decisively added the MIT museum to the itinerary list and found a weekend to check in. Compared with the Harvard Museum, the museum has a lot fewer tourists, and the museum is full of science and technology atmosphere. All kinds of technology are full of design displays in the museum. It is also very shocking to come for the first time. It is more suitable for small partners with a science and technology background to visit. After visiting the museum, you can visit the MIT campus on the way, and the teaching building does not need a student card to enter.
The Harvard Museum of Natural History
Ppalettes_nyWhen my friend recommended this museum to me, I didn't pay much attention to it at first. I felt that it was difficult for a museum on campus to create a high degree of surprise. I didn't expect to be slapped in the face when I went there. I was so happy to visit it with my friends that I couldn't stop at all. The various strange exhibits were dazzling. The Harvard Museum of Natural History also has a place on the list of Boston's favorite museums.
Founded in 1998, the museum consists of three exhibition halls with different themes: plant specimens, comparative zoology, and mineral geology. Among them, the plant specimen hall was established first. At the beginning of the construction of the museum, it was established by more than 200,000 plant specimens donated by Harvard University professor Asa Gray. In 1977, the Mineral and Geology Museum was built with donations. The last one is the Comparative Zoology Hall built in 1859.
Each theme pavilion has its own wonderful features. I was so happy visiting each one. The glass flower display in the botanical specimen museum and the various animal specimens in the comparative zoology museum were all amazing. My favorite was the mineral geology museum, which had a variety of exquisite minerals. It feels like I rarely see such a large scale and exquisiteness in other museums.

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
西西行阿里The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is a North American Indian exhibition that tells the relationship between Indians and Europeans who came to the North American continent from the 15th to 18th centuries, and how local Indian culture was influenced by European culture. How they maintain their own traditions and customs. The museum also features other collections that showcase local culture in the Americas, such as rock paintings and murals from the Mayan and Mohican periods. Founded in 1866, the museum is one of the oldest museums of anthropology in the world.
